"get right" and Doug

Can´t get the song get it right out of my head, so wish should I suffer alone :)

JLo - get it right

so much stuff to tell you.

First of all, a couple of days ago I met friends close to Mainz. We went to school in Spain and it was so much fun! One of them is an amazing youtube-DJane and we danced in the living-room until 4 o´clock in the morning. We decided not to post the fotos but will for sure have the possibility to show them to you in person. It was so much fun!

Regarding Italy, I was really worried about my friends in Rome and in the monastery. But guess what: Rome is basically built on a "geological Swiss Cheese" for so many layers of historical construction one above the other. Hence, the earthquake in the middle of Italy did not have any effect whatsoever. Rob, her family and the other Rob are doing fine, I spoke with them during the last days. Still saying prayers for people in crisis.

At the moment, I am reading Douglas Hofstädter´s works to keep the brain elastic and it works :) It´s much more fun than I ever expected :)

My muse is waking up again, though I needed some time to get there. I am on holiday until Wednesday which is really great. Talking about the muse, there is a downside to it, sometimes. Did anybody follow the details around the film slumdog millionaire? There is a strong discussion about the kids going on who acted for the film. Apparently, the youngest actors originally came from the actual slums in Mumbai and right after having joined the Oscars in LA, they went straight home into the slums. If I have the facts straight, they received a couple of hundreds of Dollars for their acting. It is such a mess. Now, it has been declared that both kids will have trust-funds for their education. I cannot really believe how so many Western people could be so unbelievably blind-sighted, taking those kids out of their environment, taking them into the film-world, then to LA to the Oscars and escorting them back into misery (it was filmed and really bad). The least thing I would have expected is a partial donation to improve the infrastructure in that specific slum in general. What would you guys think is the right thing if they HAD to hire those kids?



Anyway, apart from that: Köln is blooming, people are enjoying the sun. I am supposed to paint my living-room because their is a stain on the wall. But nope, I don´t even care that I didn´t do it. Doug was more important, and talking to you guys where and when possible. Aaaaand I will be joining with Bea soon, that is so great!

More to come.

Un beso und bis bald,
